The womanizer and the diva

Chapter 30: Someone You Loved

"McKinley Highs new prom queen is...Rachel Berry!" Everyone in the gymnasium cheered loudly as Rachel stood there speechlessly. Julie jaw tightened in rage as she pulled away from a confused Sam roughly. Quinn smiled widely as she clapped with the crowd around her. Kurt nudged Rachel towards the stage as she waved to the crowd happily, as a crown was placed upon her head. "Congratulations miss Berry, now let's reveal this years prom king!" Quinn looked around her to see if Marley was in this chaos, she saw Puck first. "Hey Puck! Have you seen Marley?" Puck shook his head as he looked around the auditorium himself. Quinn bit her lip in confusion as she tried to push through the crowd to exit the gymnasium, to search for her missing date. "Your new prom king is Quinn Fabray!" Quinn froze as she turned around to everyone literally going nuts. Puck hollered excitingly as he dragged Quinn towards the stage. "Wait I-!" Puck pushed Quinn on the stage as the gymnasium bursted with cheers and whistles. The principal places the crown on her head while Rachel smiled widely waving at the crowd before her. Quinn stopped for a moment to stare at Rachel, she looked so beautiful and happy. Quinn smiled softly as her while the principal went straight back to the microphone. "Well there you have it folks, now let the prom king and queen share their first and last dance." Rachel and Quinn both looked at each other nervously. The principal looked at them confusedly as he subtlety nudged Quinn and Rachel off the stage and onto the dance floor. Quinn gulped nervously as Rachel looked around her anxiously. Quinn bit her lip as she decided to be bold and grabbed Rachel's hand, pulling her close to her. "Look, it's just one dance Rach and then we can go back to ignoring each other forever if you want." Rachel huffed as she tried to pull her hands away from Quinn. "I wasn't trying to ignore you Quinn I-" The music started making everyone stand around them waiting for them to dance together. Quinn pulled Rachel close to her once more, putting Rachel's hands on her shoulder and waist. Rachel's breath seemed to escape her as Quinn lead them into a slow dance expertly. Everything seemed to be in slow motion for Quinn and Rachel, like nothing else mattered around them but each other. Julie pushed towards the exit in a huff, smirking as she made her way down the hall, of course she had a back up plan in case things didn't go her way. Rachel felt like everyone was judging them in a way, so she kept looking around nervously. Quinn of course noticed and she leaned towards Rachel's ear to whisper something to her. "You look really beautiful tonight by the way." Rachel's breath hitched as she gripped onto Quinn's shoulder a little, looking over Quinn's shoulder apprehensively. "I do?" Quinn huffed as she backed away to stare into Rachel's eyes earnestly. "Of course you do, you were practically glowing when you walked through those doors. I'm pretty sure everyone else noticed it too." Rachel smiled with a blush as she looked Quinn into her eyes as well. "You did too...you and Marley, looked really good tonight." Quinn's smile fell at her dates name. She still felt guilty about the way she treated Marley the other night, but there was no way she could take it back now. Quinn nodded with a tight smile. "Thanks Rach...so did you and the giant oaf." Rachel bursted out in a chuckle and slightly slapped Quinn's shoulder in reprimand. "You've got to stop calling him that and he's not all that bad once you get to know him." Quinn chuckled with a playful huff. "Oh yea I'm sure, hanging out with him in Breadstixs every night is such a blast." Rachel chuckled once more as they slow danced with a smile on their faces.

"Um Julie I don't think we should do this." Finn said in concern as he carried a bucket full of various slushies in his hands. Julie rolled her eyes at him for the hundredth time. "Relax Finn, I told you it's not for Rachel it's for Quinn. Don't you want everyone to see how much of a Lima Loser she is?" Finn sighed as he shrugged his shoulders. "I mean not really, I just want Rachel to be happy." Julie groaned in frustration as she stopped Finn in the middle of the hallway. "Oh my god could you stop with this whole, I'm a better person now because you spent the summer at Christian camp. Everyone knows what an asshole you still are Finn. I've heard some of the girls stories and trust me there wasn't any flattering ones, especially not in the case of little Finn there." Finn huffed as he frowned in anger. "I don't care what those girls said! I'm a different person now and I changed...I changed for Rachel. So if you're planning on dumping that on her then you're on your own." Finn shoved the bucket in her hands in rage as he walked towards the gymnasium to try and warn Rachel before it's too late. "Fine leave! I don't need you!" Julie huffed as she struggled to hold the bucket by herself.
